Combustion Engines  Manufacturers, Traders, Suppliers

Internal combustion engines are heat engines that convert chemical energy into mechanical energy. This is done by burning a fuel. Probably the best-known combustion engines are the diesel engine and the gasoline engine. Common types of internal combustion engines are piston engines, rotary piston engines and free piston engines. Reciprocating piston engines are the most common. Turbines and rocket engines are not included in the category of internal combustion engines.Combustion engines are now frequently used in mobile applications. The spectrum ranges from small engines (often two-strokes with only one cylinder) for handheld devices (such as chainsaws) to medium-sized aggregates for driving motorcycles and automobiles to more powerful engines for heavy commercial vehicles and aircraft. The largest internal combustion engines are marine diesel engines - MAN's largest diesel engine produces almost 100,000 kW and has fourteen cylinders in series.Combustion engines are also used stationary, mainly as generators (for example combined heat and power plants) and generate electricity by burning fossil fuels.The most common fuels include diesel and gasoline, but gas and ethanol are also used. Since the widespread introduction of electric drives for individual locomotion still suffers from insufficient battery technology, almost every motorist has come into contact with an internal combustion engine at times - in the medium term it will also not be possible to replace it in mobile applications.
